Class was very intriguing. I look forward to hearing about next week's topic about the dealer/critic aspect of art work/art world. I previously worked as a registrar and learned a lot about the dynamics of the museum and the artist relationship. But this lecture gave me a further understanding of some of what I learned before.
The artist he mentioned, Kehinde Wiley, reminds me of another painter from the 70's named Barkley L. Hendricks. They both do large scale paintings of figures with bold colors. Check out Hendricks if you have the time and see the comparisons, it's pretty cool!
